Ungasan, Bali. Present.
" Sometimes it takes a wrong turn to get you to the right place. " Andini stared at the wall in her room. She read those words in a picture while she was laying in the bed. She couldn't sleep that night. Her thoughts full of Masaki Ichiro. She could not wait until April comes.
" It's true! " she said.
" Ring... ring... ring... " her smartphone rang for few times.
It was already midnight when Andini got a phone call from unknown number. She didn't pick up the call. Then came a text message from the same unknown number. She read it. It was from Masaki Ichiro. Her heart was beating fast. She never thought that the day she had always been waiting for would come. The day Ichiro called her.
Hasigawa had already tell her that Masaki Ichiro has returned to Japan and he has told Masaki Ichiro all about Andini and Sakura.
Then liked two stupid teenagers in love, they were texting each other before the call.
" Hello, Sonata. This is Masaki Ichiro. Can you pick up the phone? I want to talk to you now. "
Andini shuddered, she was confused about what to write.
" Hello, Masaki san. I didn't know it's your number. I'm sorry. Shall we talk tonight? It's already midnight. " she replied.
" Who cares! Just pick up the damn phone or I'll be crazy in a second! Please.."
Then a second later her phone was ringing again. She picked up the phone.
" Hello, Masaki san. How are you? You came back to Japan, finally. " awkwarded.
" Yes, Sonata. I came back to Japan a few days ago. I can't forget you. I miss you so much. " Masaki Ichiro's voice heard from the other side. Straight to the point.
" I.. I.. I miss you too, Masaki san. "
" Sonata. Stop call me Masaki san. Call me Ichiro. "
" Okay, Ichiro. How are you? "
" I'm fine, Sonata. How are you too? "
" I'm fine, Masaki san. "
" Sonata.. please call me Ichiro not Masaki san. Next your name will be Masaki too. "
Masaki Ichiro was not a man who likes to beat around the bush, when he talks he prefers to go straight to the point of the matter. Hasigawa had told Andini about it.
Andini was shocked when she heard that sentence. Her heart beating so fast. It was so sudden. She was silent but she felt her heart was head over heels.
"Sonata ... Are you still there? "
" Yes, Ichiro. I'm still here. I.. I just surprised and nervous. I'm sorry. " Andini's voice trembled.
Ichiro liked to call Andini by calling Sonata, like that night, seven years ago.
" Sonata.. Is our baby still wake up? "
" No, Ichiro. She's sleeping now. Do you want me to wake her up? "
" No. It's okay. I just want to hear her voice and see her. But it's okay. I will wait till the day comes. Tell her, her father wants to meet her. "
" I will, Ichiro. I will tell her that you want to meet her. She must be happy. She always asks me to meet you. She told me that she can not wait to see you. Do you know, she always hug your picture when she was sleeping and when the morning comes she always looks up at the sky and say I love you, Daddy. She really wants you, Ichiro. "
In a few seconds Ichiro's voice was not heard.
" Ichiro... "
" Yes, my love. I'm here. I just want to cry now. God... I'm so sorry.. " he sobbed.
" Don't cry, Ichiro. " her voice started to tremble.
"Sonata .. Listen to me, honey. I love you. I love you so much. I can not forget you since that night. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't convey my feelings to you for more than seven years. I'm sorry for I don't know anything about you. I'm sorry I never looked for you. I'm sorry for all the things I did seven years ago. I'm sorry, honey. I'm so sorry. " his voice trembled.
And Andini cried. She could not believe what she heard.
" I love you too, Ichiro. There's nothing to be forgiven for. I asked you that night. It's my way of life. It's my destiny. I have never regretted of meeting you that day. I never regretted what happened that night. Whatever happened after that night was destiny. My destiny and yours. In the end I was even very happy. Even though it was not planned, you gave me the most beautiful gift into my life. You gave me a beautiful little angel, Ichiro. She looks so much like you. " she sobbed.
" Please don't cry, my love. Don't cry. I'm here. I will come to you. I want to meet you as soon as possible. I really miss you, Sonata. I want to see and hug you and our little angel. I have received the gifts that you left to Hasigawa. And your letter for me. I have read it thousands times and seen all of Sakura's photos. I reread your letter every day. Thank you so much for made it all for me. Thank you so much for loving me in these more than seven years. Thank you for giving me a little angel. Listen .. I can't wait any longer for cherry blossom to bloom in Osaka like you planned. I will come to you soon. We will see cherry blossom bloom later together. Three of us. Be patient I'll come and see you. Right now I'm taking care of all the necessary paperwork. Be patient, my love. I'll come to you . I love you. "
"I love you too, Ichiro. I love you so much. "
Sometimes this life was so strange, right? It brought you a lemon and at the end made you a lemonade. And it was true what people say, If you wanted something that precious to you, you have to face the hard times first. And the results would be satisfied you.
She laid down and closed her eyes. She was trying to sleep but she couldn't. She still couldn't believe what just happened. She had been waiting for long time the day that Masaki Ichiro confess his love. She was hoping that Masaki Ichiro have the same feelings. And finally it came true. Her heart filled with happiness. It overwhelmed. She smiled. She could not wait the day Ichiro come to her. She missed him so much. And liked a little girl who just got a new doll, Andini was very happy. She bent over and hit the pillow repeatedly. She was laughing and laughing and her feet pounded against the bed repeatedly. Smiling, laughing, blushing, and screaming. Everyone who was in love always like a kids, right?
" God I'm so happy! I'm so happy! Thank you, Lord for this happiness that You bring to me. Thank You for sent me Masaki Ichiro. "
